Blazin' Gears
Because Someone Has to Do It, and because the author was highly caffeinated after playing a few rounds of Blaz Blue online, this crossover was conceived. Blazin' Gears is a tale that has slowly been dropping main characters from the Guilty Gear series into the Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi (the main setting for the game Blaz Blue) about a day or so before Ragna the Bloodedge strolls in through the front door of the library and the wheel of fate spins anew. So far, the GG characters have been getting their asses handed to them as their bodies adjust to the new "rules" of this world, but who knows what will happen afterwards? The author is still trying to figure that part out for himself.
Will there be awesome action? Yes.
Will there be humorous dialogue? Yes.
Will there be romance? Unrequited so far, but yes to a small degree.
Will someone get a Bridget dropped on them? It's being considered.
Will there be any original characters? A few, but they won't overshadow the main cast.

(This space will contain more trope examples as soon as I can track them down, but feel free to add your own if you think they fit the bill.)
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: Jam gets this from some pirates at one point.
- Broken Pedestal -- Mr. Black
- Calling Your Attacks -- Bang Shishigami does it often enough that Ky wonders if he is actually playing this straight or if it's just Obfuscating Stupidity.
- Can't Hold Her Liquor -- Noel, in one scene.
- Curb Stomp Battle -- Sol vs. Rachel.
- The Chessmaster -- Hazama/Terumi
- Fanfic (duh)

- He Knows Too Much -- Sector Seven says this of Mr. Black.
- Healing Factor -- Ragna has one due to being part-vampire, Sol has one because he's actually a Gear...or something.

- Incendiary Exponent -- Tager gets this after Mr. Black's house explodes.
- Kick the Son of A Bitch -- Yes, Hazama choking a bitch isn't nice, but May, girl, you just made a poor chap unable to be a daddy ever. Are we supposed to feel sad for you?
- Judging on what Hazama is... well, YES!
- Leaning On the Fourth Wall -- Two NOL watchmen named Rosen and Gilden. (What is this reference you speak of?)
